Highlands pulls away in overall race

Tagaytay Highlands made the most of its WGAP Circuit hosting, posting two victories and a third-place finish to pull away in the overall race after six legs at the Midlands and Lucky Nine courses in Tagaytay recently.

The Highlanders nipped a hard-fighting Forest Hills side and topped Class A via countback after both teams finished with 140 points.

Tagaytay’s Class C squad pooled a 150 to post an eight-point romp over Villamor before settling for third in Class B won by Sta. Elena over Camp Aguinaldo.

The seven-point output hiked Tagaytay’s total to 26 points, five points ahead of Villamor (21) and six ahead of Forest Hills (20) with Sta. Elena and Alabang toting 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Sharing the spotlight in the event organized by Women’s Golf Association of the Philippines were individual winners Abigail Lapid of Orchard (40 points-Class A), Wack Wack’s Isable de Jesus (42 points-Class B) and Villamor’s Angela Castro (47 points-Class C).
